Look at Windsor, Maidenhead and High Wycombe
HW?!?! Ah, that was a wee joke you slipped in there - nice one

TGP,
More detail reqd: Single, married or in partnership or intending to be in next few years, kids, schools etc etc. Buckinghamshire has selective grammar schools if you like a gamble.
Buy or rent? If buy, price range.
Sports - eg: for sailing this ain't where to be

Maidenhead, Windsor and HW have direct rail access to London. I'm not familiar with the areas to the south of LHR although we had a look when I was posted to LHR and thought, e.g., Camberley would be good in case of a posting to LGW which did eventually happen and then would have been easier for commuting than Marlow. Looked at Datchet right next to LHR but though a bit noisy with all those filthy flying machines around

We're in Marlow which is a bit expensive and we don't even have direct rail to London (Donkey to Maidenhead then change).
